Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the grilled chicken thighs before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm, accompanied by a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
